PLEASE READ ALL THIS PAGE BEFORE CALLING

I am able to manage your establishment for you whilst you take a well deserved holiday, need medical attention or seek full time managers. Emergency management can be arranged to cover such things as managers walk outs or licensee resignations.

Our rates are very competitive and start from just £450.00 per week and I can accept payment by Credit Card, Debit Card, Bank Transfer or even a good old Cheque. I never ask for full payment in advance (unless it is for emergency cover) a £100.00 deposit* secures your booking. With a further payment to bring the paid total to 80% of the cover fee leaving the remaining 20% to be paid 7 days after the cover has ended. See example below;

If your booking quote was for £450.00 the you would be asked to pay a £100.00 deposit to secure the booking which would leave a balance of £350.00 to be paid. I would then require a payment on arrival of £280.00 making a total paid before the cover starts of £380.00 and the 20% balance of £70.00 due to paid 7 days after the cover ends. You will be emailed an invoice at each stage which contains a payment button allowing you to pay online using a credit or debit card.

Please read all this page before calling and avoid normal pub busy times 10.30am til 12.30pm and 5pm til 9pm as I could be busy opening up or serving. You can also email me (see below or text me or use the contact form)

My aim is always to run your establishment as close to how you run it as I possibly can and in order to help achieve this I send out to every confirmed booking a relief questionnaire pack for you to fill in at your leisure before my arrival. It will cut down handover time considerably.

Cover that includes a Bank holiday will incur an additional charge of £100.00 per bank holiday days cover. For example Easter would involve Good Friday and possibly Easter Monday making an additional charge of £200.00

Emergency cover

Emergency management cover has a minimum charge of £550.00 per week outside the M25 or £850.00 inside the M25. I could be on site within 3 hours. All charges apply for the whole period of the cover and need to be paid in full and in advance of travel. If your DPS has walked out then I can help with the forms needed to appoint a new DPS over the internet and before travelling. Note; if your DPS has wlaked out and revoked their permission to be DPS then you are not licensed to serve alcohol however if they have not revoked their permission you could still be. An application to vary the premises license in regard to changing the named DPS is deemed granted upon receipt of the application as is the application by the outgoing DPS to be removed so time is often of the essence.

PLEASE NOTE: As part of my service I like to arrive the night before the hand-over is due to take place and if possible stay the night after hand-back has taken place this way we can ensure that we are on site on the day you wish too depart and again on site should a problem arise with your return journey and you miss the hand-back date. Please if you're thinking of booking my services do not think of this part of the service as being an extra couple of free days cover, it is purely to insure you get away for a worry free Holiday.

Scroll down to check / book available dates. You will be taken to our booking site, please select date range, service required - change from bingo calling select multi-booking and then search available dates will then be shown.

If you are unable to provide on site accommodation then you will be expected to cover the cost of any hotel accommodation required for the whole cover period by sperate arrangement with the accommodation provider.

Please note that January and February are very busy months and early booking is advised. No booking is deemed confirmed until the deposit is paid. Regular bookers may be offered a discretionary discount.

Travel cost from our base and back are included in the quote and as we always travel by train any additional travel costs incurred during the day to day running of your establishment will be chargeable at the time of the cover, taxi, bus or train fares etc.
